Llantwit Major's town clerk Ruth Quinn said the town council would pay the one-off £250 fee so it could register its refill points on the app and use the logo, adding it was one of many ways the town was working to reduce single-use plastic waste.

"We've got a fantastic little town. As long as someone stands forward people are willing to come along," she said.

Natalie Fee, who founded not for profit organisation City to Sea which launched Refill, said: "It's been fantastic to see such a surge of interest in local communities wanting to get involved in running their own Refill schemes... I'm a big fan of Llantwit Major and it's lovely community and beaches. I can't wait to see Refill take off there".

Water firm Severn Trent, which serves a large area of mid Wales, said it supported the campaign and would be rolling it out across its region in the near future.

Dwr Cymru said it was speaking to partners and organisations about how it could raise awareness of the environmental damage caused by single use plastics and micro-plastics and how refilling using tap water can be made the norm in Wales.
